Lead Your OSHC Team With Confidence!
- Do you find yourself just doing the jobs yourself because it feels easier than asking your team, even if it leaves you drained and stretched thin?
- Do you avoid addressing underperformance because you don’t want conflict in the team?
- Do you ask your educators to do something, they nod along… and then nothing changes?
- Are you a confident Educator but unsure how to step up and lead your OSHC team effectively?
Being an OSHC leader is unique, it’s fast-paced, flexible, and full of variety. You juggle educators coming in and out of shifts, transitions between before-school, after-school, and vacation care, and the energy of children who’ve already had a big day. This course is designed for you. We’ll give you the practical tools, strategies, and confidence to lead your OSHC team with clarity, calm, and impact.
